ADRIAN, Mich. -- Across Michigan this spring, collegiate women's lacrosse programs are all coming together to raise money to assist with the Flint Water Crisis. The Siena Heights University women's lacrosse program and 14 other teams in Michigan will all play in games to help raise money for the crisis, with proceeds going towards the Community Foundation of Greater Flint (www.flintkids.org).

Siena Heights is set to host its Flint charity game on Wednesday, April 13, in a Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic (WHAC) as the Saints welcome Aquinas to O'Laughlin Stadium. There will be two games played. The first game, with Aquinas as the home team, will start at 4 p.m. Opening draw with Siena Heights as the home team is set for 7 p.m.

The charity games will take place all across the state during the spring women's lacrosse season, from March through May. The programs participating include NAIA institutions Aquinas, Davenport, Siena Heights, and Lawrence Tech. Other schools range from NCAA Division I to Division III schools -- Central Michigan, University of Michigan, Detroit Mercy, Adrian, Albion, Alma, Calvin, Grand Valley State, Hope, Kalamazoo, and Olivet.

Teams are involved in the effort in different ways with some of the squads raising awareness, while others are collecting donations that will help with the medical treatment of the Flint youth affected by the water crisis.

On Wednesday, all proceeds from admission to the event will be donated to Flintkids.org.

About Flint Water Crisis: The Flint water crisis started in April 2014 and has continued into 2016 as drinking water has been contaminated with lead contamination, leading to public health problems.

Many residents in Flint are still unable to get clean water. President Obama declared a federal state of emergency for Flint in January 2016.

Flint is the state's seventh-largest city with a population close to 100,000 people and is located 66 miles northwest of Detroit.
